That, sounds like a lot yeah.
So I'm glad you can appreciate the break.
I probably should to, even though I'm worried about going back
We were right about to get into a big fight.

Haven't you been doing quests and stuff?

i left the morning our coup launched, same morning the fire nation launched a full scale invasion to burn down the earth kingdom
shitty timing for us both, huh

i do quests yeah
it just doesn't leave a lot leftover
not as much as we're used to back home.. but more than we had in prismatica so it's okay i guess
ive been poorer and ive been richer

No kidding. That's really rough.

[Having left an assault of his own, he gets it.]

I guess that makes sense, yeah.
I've never really had a job before so it's a new experience.]

yeah
i guess it's comforting knowing we're not missing though
everything is just frozen in time for when we return

ive had jobs. or one job i guess. busboy. but at three different places.
i had a job in a teashop with my uncle when we were living undercover in the earth kingdom, then my uncle opened his own teashop there so i kept working for him when we moved to a better part of the city.....
and then in the other world i was in, i worked at a teppanyaki restaurant
do you know teppanyaki its japanese

[ He knows, Zuko. There's no need to show off your Earth knowledge. ]

Yeah, that part's a relief.
Sort of.
It's going to be weird going straight back into a fight.

Sounds better than working in a convenient store.
And yeah, I know teppanyaki
Haven't had it a long time though

yeah...... as soon as i return, i have a feeling i have a fight waiting for me too
one i don't want to fight anymore
sucks.

you worked in a convenient store at home???
why?

Yeah
maybe you'll find a way around that?

Not at home, here in camelot.
I didn't really have time at home.
But it's a way to earn some extra money aside from quests.

i doubt it
it's a fight with my sister..
during the coup.. at the fire nation capitol. while the avatar fights our dad in the earth kingdom.......
my friend toph told me about it. she's from the future too.
azula never told me about it......

[ He's mad about that. And a lot else that Azula never told him. ]

oh
you work at a convenience store here....??
which one?

[ If it's one of the ones closest to the inn that everyone stays in by default, Tsuna may have had problems with some masked shoplifters in the past couple months, or at least have heard word about them from other convenience store owners. Zuko's... concerned, learning this about the mafia boss. Ahem. ]

I guess your sister's not the type to want to talk about it?
That sounds...complicated yeah.

[That would be a weird future to know about. He hasn't asked about his...and he's not sure if he wants to. If it would change too much with time travel being involved.]

Uh...it's on one of the streets with a lot of shops, near a bakery. It's not too bad of a place.

...no. she's not the type to want to talk about it.
that's not how we were raised.

[ They were raised to compete. Not connect. ]

oh. okay. good to know.
i'll come sometime

[ Unmasked, alone, without his sister or his swords, ready to purchase product legally and honestly like a normal fucking person and not steal all Tsuna's hotchips from under his nose. ]

I see.
:(

[He doesn't have siblings, and the only real siblings he knows are Kyoko and Ryohei and Bianchi and Gokudera. One of which is contentious and one which is pretty supportive.]

But yeah, you can come by. I usually work the day shift right now!

we've come a long way since leaving home
azula and me

[ He pauses to consider his next words... He recently stopped stealing from the convenience store closest to the inn where he and Azula live once he saw a picture hanging on their back wall of the masks he and Azula both wear when shoplifting. He's started stealing elsewhere since then, but it's starting to seem like the gig is up... Especially since running into Sokka working at a different convenience store, too... So he ventures a risky question: ]

my friend from home sokka works in a convenience store too
did you hear about those masked thieves

[ Tsuna very well may have, as well. Word gets around, after all. Zuko's just checking his tracks. But convenience store owners talk amongst themselves when half their stock of hotchips are disappearing in one night... Who can even managed to shoplift boxes of flavored water?! These masked thieves are stealthy! ]

That's good, right?

I think I heard something about it
I mean, I mostly stock shelves
but we were supposed to keep our eyes out if anything suspicious happened
nothing really did though

i thought so..... my uncle doesn't seem to agree
now aang seems skeptical too
and he told me something really distressing about our future back home...... i don't know what to make of it... i wanna be mad at azula but i havent talked to her about it yet
im confused.

what would you do if you caught a thief stealing from your store??

I don't know how much I can help.
But, it might be worth talking to your sister?

Honestly? I'd probably panic haha.
But they told us at the store to turn on the alarm and not confront them
But it would also depend on what the thief was stealing, or if they hurt anyone on the way.

yeah......
....im gonna talk to gokudera before i see her i think
i need to tell him about the avatar anyway.

do the alarms call the knights?
i heard those thieves don't hurt anyone and just steal food

[ He's heard a lot, for someone who doesn't work in a convenience store... ]

That's good.

I think they do. I haven't had to use it
It's good that they don't hurt anyone then,
but it's still stealing

[Tsuna's probably not going to say anything, but he might be connecting some dots]

honestly i should probably talk to you about it too... now that aang's here.....
how much do you know about gokudera's powers back home??
dying will flames i mean

yeah but it's a victimless crime
dont you think

I mean, we were still just developing them so, not a lot.
I know that his weapon involved a lot of boxes and was really complicated.
I was having enough trouble with just my flames.

maybe.
Like, I can get why someone would do it, but that doesn't mean it's the right thing to do

right
his weapons system
how many flames could he use? only storm flames?

no its not the right thing to do
i agree.....
is there a different between something being wrong and something being bad though

That's all I really remember him using.
We were mostly training separately at the time
So I didn't really get to see Yamamoto or Gokudera's techniques
And the one time I checked on him, I just remember an explosion.

I think it was after that that I met Uri.

I...maybe?

okay. good to know.
nevermind then.

[ what, that's so sus sounding, Zuko, what do you know about a future of a world you're not even from guhirejkns ]

[Colour Tsuna suitably confused.]

Okay??</font?

i think the gokudera i knew in lunatia was older than the gokudera you know from your time back home
it's not my place to say anything

That's okay.
I've sort of guessed, but I'm not ready to ask about the future.
